Nonetheless, Duarte seems to be winning the confidence of the business community. Once considered objectionably socialist on economic issues, the President has moved closer to the center. Planning Minister Fidel Chávez Mena has promised to consult business and labor in drawing up a recovery plan. In the atmosphere of stability produced by Duarte's election, entrepreneurs are opening new businesses again. Many businessmen still distrust Duarte, but others are willing to give him a chance. "The President today has the respect he didn't have before," says Eduardo Menéndez, the head of a plastic...

...professed Israeli eagerness to reach a settlement, the two-day session at Cairo's elegant old Mena House hotel brought no tangible progress. Along with U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Alfred Atherton and Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis, the participants dutifully avowed their "dedication to the Camp David framework" in their closing statement. Still, Egypt and Israel remained as far apart as ever on the issue that has bedeviled the talks from the beginning: the size, scope and powers of the Palestinian body that is to govern the occupied territories once they become autonomous. The Israelis conceive of that body...
